The Inspirational Photo
I am so happy to finally play along with a TAWS challenge! Love these bright, vivid colors and the interesting slatted fence.
I do have a few TAWS stamp sets, however I didn't have any suitable for the inspirational photo so I used the FREE digi stamps that Ali has so generously posted on the blog.
My interpretation was somewhat of a 'graffiti wall' gleaned from the slatted fence in the photo.
The paint brushes were computer printed in various locations on the neutral card stock, then again on individual brightly colored papers, fussy cut and then paper pieced. I then cut the panel into individual 'boards', inked the edges and mounted on the bright green card stock
The sentiment is also a free digi masked and printed in a straight line (original image has 3 lines). A bit of work to get it spaced right, but I think it worked out quite well.
Take a moment to check out The Alley Way Stamps blog - you'll be glad you did.
Happy crafting!
This is an absolute winner!

Sah-weet! Your card captures the inspiration photo perfectly! Inking all those straight edges...wow. And all that piecing...wow again! Straightening out a sentiment...wow. Your card definitely has a big "wow" factor! La-la-love it. Bev
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic!! I cannot believe you fussy cut all of those paintbrushes but it was totally worth it to have the brilliant colors against the kraft background of slats!! Thanks for joining us at The Alley Way Stamps BE Inspired Challenge.

ReplyDeleteOk this HAS to be the winner. This is phenomenal. The bright colors would normally get lost in the bright colors, but with the distress inked kraft strips, it breaks everything up perfectly...and the effect is just cool! The bling is perfect too. LOVE it!
